What is the primary use case for the EZ1 Series?
The EZ1 is designed for DIY, balcony, and mobile solar applications. It is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integrated microinverter that simplifies connectivity by removing the need for a dedicated ECU gateway. It is ideal for smaller systems (1-2 modules) where a full residential setup is not required.
How does the EZ1 differ from the DS3 or QT2 series?
Integrated Comms: The EZ1 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The DS3/QT2 require an external ECU (ECU-R, ECU-C, etc.) for monitoring.
Plug-and-Play: The EZ1 is designed for simplified AC connections, often using a standard plug (where code permits), whereas DS3/QT2 are hardwired for roof-mount arrays.
Is "Plug-in" solar legal in the US?
It depends on the local jurisdiction. While the EZ1 hardware supports plug-and-play, the National Electrical Code (NEC) generally requires a dedicated branch circuit for permanent solar installations.
Is EZ1-LV UL 3700 compliant?
No, this is not a requirement for every state. Please check with your AHJ.
What is the maximum power capacity?
AC Output: The EZ1-LV is rated for 900W maximum continuous output.
DC Input: It features 2 independent input channels that can handle PV modules ranging from 315W up to 660W+ each.
Do I need an ECU (Energy Communication Unit) to commission the EZ1?
No. You can commission the EZ1 using Direct Connect (Bluetooth) via the smartphone app.
Which app do I use to set this up?
You must use the AP EasyPower app.
Important: Do not use the standard “EMA Manager” app. EMA Manager is for professional installers setting up DS3/QT2 systems with an ECU. AP EasyPower is the dedicated app for EZ1 DIY/Single-system users.
What is the difference between "Local Mode" and "Remote Mode"?
Local Mode (Bluetooth): Used for commissioning, checking real-time data while standing near the unit, and adjusting settings. No internet required.
Remote Mode (Wi-Fi): Connects the EZ1 to the home’s Wi-Fi router. This allows the system to send data to the EMA cloud for long-term monitoring from anywhere.
Is "Plug-in" solar legal in the US?
It depends on the local jurisdiction. While the EZ1 hardware supports plug-and-play, the National Electrical Code (NEC) generally requires a dedicated branch circuit for permanent solar installations.
Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or inspector before plugging a solar system directly into a standard wall outlet for permanent use.
Can I use extension cables for the AC output?
Yes, but ensure the cable is rated for outdoor use (UV resistant, weather-sealed) and properly sized for the voltage drop over distance. Always follow local NEC guidelines regarding temporary vs. permanent wiring.
Is EZ1 powered from the DC or the AC side?
It is powered from the DC side, i.e. from the Solar panels.
Can I connect my EZ1 directly to a 48V battery?
No, EZ1 is a solar inverter, not a battery inverter.
I have an existing PV on my roof. Can I add EZ1 without affecting my existing system?
Yes, EZ1 plugs directly into the wall outlet, just like a regular household device.
I have a storage system with back up sub panel. Do you recommend connecting EZ1 to the backup outlets or non-backup outlets.?
Connect the EZ1 to a non-back up outlet.
What if my state or utility limits plug-in solar system size?
The EZ1 gives you flexibility that many plug-in solar products don’t. Using the AP EasyPower app, you can adjust the maximum output power of the microinverter to align with local regulations or utility requirements. And for customers who need to prevent energy from being sent back to the grid, the EZ1 can be paired with the APmeter for smart zero-export control.
How do I set up the system for zero-export?
You will need to install the APmeter to measure exported power and to control the EZ1.
Can I connect two panels connected in series per channel?
No. It is not recommended to connect PV modules in series due to the potential issue with exceeding the voltage rating of the inverter.
Can I use lower wattage modules on EZ-LV, such as 200W on each input?
Yes, as long as the operating voltage and the current of the module are within the spec of the EZ1-LV, you can use lower wattage modules. EZ1-LV has an operating voltage range from 26V to 60V. The MPPT range is from 27V to 45V.
Please check the PV module datasheet for the Vmp range and the operating / max input current as seen below.
Why don’t see any data being reported at night?
EZ1 communicates only when it is powered from the Solar Panel. There is no communication when there is no Sunlight to power the EZ1.
The LED is flashing Red. What does that mean?
Slow Red Flash: The inverter is producing power, but there is no communication with the cloud/app (Wi-Fi issue).
Steady Red: Critical Fault. This usually indicates a Ground Fault or hardware failure.
Action: Disconnect AC and DC, inspect cables for damage, and reconnect. If it persists, contact support.
Why does the app show "0W" output even when the sun is out?
Grid Check: Ensure the AC cable is plugged in and the breaker is ON. The EZ1 is grid-tied and will not produce power if the grid is down.
Start-up Voltage: Ensure the DC voltage from the panels is within the MPPT operating range (26V–60V).
Grid Profile: Verify the correct Grid Profile (e.g., IEEE 1547 for US) was selected during commissioning.
